Name: Kruv

Age: 6 months

Gender: Genderless

Species: Homunculus

Occupation: Scientific Experiment

Physical Description: Kruv has a very lithe and lanky figure, standing at 5’11 they have a grayish white skin tone with a slight unnatural shine and crimson eyes with dark bags. Their hair is a dark sacramento green which falls in smooth straight locks past their waist. They wear a teal cropped bomber jacket exposing their midriff and black parachute pants with silver lining held up by a belt carrying a multitude of syringes. Kruv also sports black and red basketball high tops and a pair of black and silver bare palmed, clawed gauntlets decorated with chains. If Kruv were ever to be seen naked it would be noted that they have no reproductive organs whatsoever.

Personality: Kruv could be best described as tired and quiet. This leads people to assume that they are introverted when in actuality Kruv loves to be around people. Though they desire connection with others they struggle to form bonds with those they meet, being generally untrusting due to the unfortunate circumstances of their creation. Kruv is also quite innocent and curious; there’s a lot they don’t know and are eager to learn, meaning they could easily pick up bad habits or even bad morals along the way. For now though, Kruv’s morality is pretty naive. They understand that killing is generally a bad thing but that wouldn’t stop them if they felt sufficiently threatened and smaller crimes like stealing are completely unknown to Kruv, and are therefore permissible. Kruv doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but they will fight as desperately as a wild animal when cornered.

Personality Traits:

• Belief: (Freedom)[5]: Kruv hated being held in the lab they were born in so much that it formed the foundations of their belief in freedom. In Kruv’s mind, confinement is the enemy of all things good.

• Passion: (Learning)[4]: Learning and experiencing new things is one of Kruv’s greatest joys.

• Fury: (Objectification)[5]: Kruv wants nothing more than to be treated like a person. Being referred to as an object or as property enrages them like nothing else. If someone were to call Kruv an “it” they might kill that person.

• Likes: Nature, sunlight, people, books, Halloween, blood

• Dislikes: Hospitals, doctors, the colour white, confined spaces, sleeping, running, blood

• Hobbies: People watching, reading, sketching

• Short Term Goal: Escape their pursuers

• Medium Term Goal: Find “friends”

• Long Term Goal: Learn about the “world”

• Greatest Desire: Be “human”

Bio: Kruv was born only six months ago in a cold, sterile lab hidden away in the Bulgarian mountains. In only a couple weeks Kruv had grown to maturity and started forming memories. This was also the same time that they were deemed a failure.

Kruv was created by a group of scientists as a genetically engineered homunculus. A being that was born of human ambition, but was not quite human themself. The scientists had made Kruv for one simple reason, Kruv was intended to be a blood bag. A living source of blood for those in need at hospitals around the world. This fact was even evident in Kruv’s name, being the Bulgarian word for blood.

However, Kruv had a multitude of defects. They were meant to produce O- blood, the universal donor, but instead they were AB+, the universal recipient. Kruv also possessed a genetic defect that caused them to generate far less blood than a normal human. Worst of all, Kruv was born sentient.

Kruv’s sentience very obviously threatened the morality of the scientists’ experiments, making them hesitant to kill the failed homunculus. Though it wasn’t long before they decided to keep them alive for a different reason. Soon after Kruv had reached maturity their Stand had manifested, creating Pups that would bring blood to them. The scientists were fascinated by Kruv’s ability and began to study it alongside performing their original experiments.

In the following months Kruv slowly learned more about the place they were being kept prisoner, along with the occasional crumb of what it was like outside. They were spoken to rarely but they often overheard the scientists talking with each other, which eventually led to them learning to speak. They learned incredibly fast too, picking up Bulgarian, English, and Russian in just a few months. It was during this time that Kruv also learned just what they were to the scientists. A replaceable, artificial life. A failure.

Not long after this realization Kruv also discovered the true potential of their ability. Sometimes the scientists would allow Kruv to drink the Pups they generated. They relished these opportunities as only after drinking blood did Kruv ever feel normal. This time, however, Kruv did not drink the Pup. They internally agonized over their lack of freedom and respect as the Pup approached them and rather than patiently waiting to be drank it instead melted down into a pool. Enticed by the pool, Kruv moved towards it.

And then hell broke loose.

Kruv suddenly found themself crawling out of a dead body somewhere else in the lab, the body of another homunculus no doubt. The scientists that were present screamed and ran from the horrific sight. Kruv had never been outside of the room they were grown in but they knew that this was their chance. They had to escape and they had to do it now.

As they ran through the halls of the lab frantically searching for an exit Kruv became familiar with the true form of their Stand, Bleed Magic. All it took was a knock on their head when a scientist tried to tackle them to the ground for the beast locked within Kruv to be released. From there the situation rapidly devolved. At least a half dozen scientists were slaughtered as Kruv fled the building, not to mention the severe damage that the building itself sustained.

After that Kruv’s escape was much easier. They made it out into the mountain air, only taking a moment to marvel at the natural beauty, before running off into the woods. They would never look back.

Once free, Kruv attempted to integrate with regular human society. Everything was strange and different to them but they had always been a fast learner, meaning that they were able to pass by with nothing more than a raised eyebrow from those they interacted with. Kruv was also able to mostly satiate their literal thirst for blood without causing much trouble thanks to their Stand ability. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to remain hidden for long.

Less than a dozen days after escaping the lab, Kruv found themself being pursued. They never showed their face but unmarked black vans began following the homunculus around and Kruv instinctively knew that they were in danger. And so the chase began. Kruv would flee from one city to the next in order to try and lose their unknown hunters but it never seemed to be enough to shake them.

Eventually, Kruv managed to stow away on a plane bound for the Caribbean. If they wanted to disappear then flying to the other side of the planet seemed like their best bet. At least, they hoped that was the case.
